An update.
Thanks to Burgundymog I contacted Cain and he sourced the right Aeroquip clamp from Morgan. The clamp comes with a new doughnut that fits between the two pipe ends.
Its not cheap at circa £60. Apparently the reason the Part number does not appear in Aeroquip catalogues is because it is bespoke made for Morgan! .
Only Morgan could get an exhaust clamp "custom" made for a bl**dy exhaust pipe! Cain was super helpful and I hope to have clamp by end of week.
He advised that general exhaust V clamps (of which I have ordered two variants at about £8 each) are not appropriate because of the profile of the joint/doughnut.
Anyway, to fit the clamp and doughnut the exhaust connection has to be separated so that doughnut and clamp camp be inserted/ fitted. This entails undoing the probably very seized/corroded U Bolts holding the exhaust to allow the Silencer/tailpipe to move rearwards.
I have a fear that it will be one of those jobs that I start and end up with seized components, wont have replacements to hand, and a clamp replacement becomes a nightmare. So............
The plan is to get clamp drive caitiously to an Exhaust fitter workshop and get them to do it.
I will let you know how it goes and total cost.
As an aside Cain also highlighted that these clamps are in short supply.

Good to know where to get them. I was doing a bit of preventative maintenance at the weekend and removed the clamp to find the "donut" with a fair amount of rust on it. Painted on some rust converter so hopefully that'll prevent it from worsening. Need to check the other side now and do the same.
